The developers from Motive Studios, creators of the upcoming Star Wars Squadrons, participated in an interview with GameInformer, revealing some more information about the game. Of particular interest is the studio’s stance that Squadrons won’t have microtransactions as it is not a live service game. EA seemingly did not forget the heated discussions following Battlefront 2’s model:
“Our mindset has been very old school,” Frazier says. “We’re trying to say with this game that we have a $40 price point, we want to feel generous to players, and we want it to feel like a complete experience. Like ‘You gave us your $40. Here’s a game that you will love. Thank you.’ That’s it. This isn’t something we are building around a live-service strategy. It’s built around a game that is complete and great in its own right. That’s not to say we will never add anything, I guess we could, but it’s not presented as a live service.”
Star Wars Squadrons is coming October 2 to PS4, Xbox One and PC.
